VerifiedSystem Monitoring and Maintenance

Which FortiGate daemon can you monitor in real time to confirm that verdicts are being received by the FortiGate?

Explanation

On FortiGate, the quarantine daemon (quarantined, also referred to as quard) is the process responsible for communication with FortiSandbox: it queues suspicious files, submits them for inline analysis, and receives the verdicts that FortiSandbox returns. Monitoring this daemon in real time with diagnose debug application quarantine -1 (and testing it with diagnose test application quarantined) shows file submissions and returned verdicts, which confirms that FortiGate is receiving results from FortiSandbox. The wad daemon handles proxy-mode traffic processing, scanunitd performs local antivirus scanning, and FortiGate has no fsd daemon responsible for FortiSandbox verdicts.
